Where To Watch
Can you guess the location of the M*A*S*H novel from the cover alone?
Can you judge a book by its cover?
The belove M*A*S*H television series was based on a novel. Well, it was based on a movie based on a novel. Richard Hooker (a pseudonym for former military surgeon Dr. H. Richard Hornberger and writer W. C. Heinz) released the book MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors in 1968.
Obviously, it was a hit. As the M*A*S*H TV show launched in 1972, so did a new series of novels continuing the adventures of the 4077th. Which the series stayed in Korean, the thirteen paperbacks published between 1972–77 trotted the globe.
Those used to the show alone might be taken aback at having their favorite characters Hot Lips, Hawkeye and Trapper John attend the American Tonsil, Adenoid and Vas Deferens Society conference in New Orleans. (That was an actual M*A*S*H novel.)
